L’ancien contre-amiral Bubo Na Tchuto, désigné comme un baron de la drogue par le Trésor américain, aurait été à la tête de la tentative de renversement du régime le 1er février.

Le président de Guinée-Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, a accusé jeudi 10 février un ex-chef de la marine nationale et deux autres hommes arrêtés dans le passé par l’agence américaine antidrogue (Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA) d’être derrière ce qu’il présente comme la tentative de coup d’Etat avortée du 1er février.

FRANCE 🇫🇷 (Antistups) : autre scandale d’Etat, à la DNRED certains n’avaient pas le « cul propre »

Publié le par

REPRISE de l’article du 8 janvier 2017 paru dans le Parisien par Stéphane Sellami 

C’est une découverte inattendue qui relance les suspicions quant à l’objectif réel poursuivi par les douanes après l’improbable saisie de 7 t de résine de cannabis, en octobre 2015, dans le XVIe arrondissement de Paris.

Dans ce dossier, le rôle controversé d’un informateur des policiers de l’Office central pour la répression du trafic illicite de stupéfiants (OCRTIS), a conduit à son arrestation en février 2016 en Belgique, puis à son incarcération en France. Depuis, Sophiane HAMBLI., 41 ans, originaire de Mulhouse (Bas-Rhin), a été rejoint en détention par huit complices présumés. Lui a toujours affirmé avoir agi à la demande de l’OCRTIS, et surtout, avec l’aval de la justice française…

A l’époque de la découverte de cette impressionnante quantité de haschisch, les agents de la puissante Direction nationale du renseignement et des enquêtes douanières (DNRED), un des six services de la communauté du Renseignement en France, agissant sous le sceau du secret-défense, avaient affirmé tout ignorer de la présence de l’informateur de l’OCRTIS dans ce dossier.

Un indicateur présenté comme un baron de la drogue

Une affirmation désormais battue en brèche après la découverte, le 12 décembre dernier, d’« éléments de travail » concernant Sophiane HAMBLI., lors de la perquisition du siège de la DNRED à Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne) par les gendarmes de la section de recherches (SR) de Paris. Une perquisition menée dans une autre affaire, à la demande des juges d’instruction du pôle financier parisien, Aude Buresi et Serge Tournaire, après une autre saisie « douteuse » de 43 t de café contrefait, en juillet 2015, par les douanes.

Jeudi, le chef adjoint de l’antenne de la DNRED au Havre (Seine-Maritime) où plus de 800 000 € en liquide avaient été saisis, toujours le 12 décembre, a mis fin à ses jours sur son lieu de travail. Ce douanier « estimé » avait exprimé son sentiment « profond de trahison » après la découverte de cette somme dans le cadre de l’enquête menée par les deux juges parisiens.

Les documents relatifs à Sophiane HAMBLI., eux, ont été récupérés dans le bureau de l’adjointe opérationnelle à la DNRED. Ils datent de plusieurs mois avant son arrestation. Selon nos informations, cet indicateur de l’OCRTIS faisait l’objet d’une attention toute particulière de la part des douaniers. Il y est notamment décrit comme « supervisant depuis sa prison de Nancy l’importation de quantité importante de résine de cannabis entre le Maroc et la France ». Sophiane HAMBLI. est présenté comme « le boss du trafic européen de résine de cannabis », capable d’importer « plusieurs tonnes par semaine ».

Les douaniers ont-ils voulu faire tomber le si précieux indic de leurs rivaux de l’OCRTIS ?

Les mêmes documents laissent ainsi entendre qu’un aviseur (informateur) des douanes est impliqué dans la chute du « tonton » des policiers de l’OCRTIS…

Une arrestation qui n’est pas sans conséquence puisqu’il semble désormais acquis qu’elle a mis à mal le démantèlement d’un vaste réseau d’importation de résine, piloté depuis le Maghreb par un certain Moufid BOUCHIBI,, un autre « baron de l’or vert » multimillionnaire…

Sollicité, l’avocat de Sophiane HAMBLI., M e Joseph Cohen-Sabban précise que « les douanes ont volontairement porté atteinte à une opération de police en inventant purement et simplement, sur procès-verbal, les circonstances de la découverte de cette drogue à Paris. J’ai, d’ailleurs, déposé plainte contre les douanes quant au caractère mensonger de leurs déclarations ».

FRANCE 🇲🇫 : l’argent sale est partout assurément

Les enquêteurs de la Gendarmerie avaient trouvé dans les locaux de l’Échelon de la DNRED du Havre près de 800 000 euros, dont 740 000 dans une valise et 40 000 dans un fauteuil.
Aviseur international avait à l’époque fait un article sous le titre :

DNRED (Douane française): 800 000 euros saisis lors de perquisitions dans les échelons de Rouen et du Havre

Publié le par Marc Fievet

Les relations de François Thierry de l’OCRTIS et de son apporteur d’affaires, Sofiane Hambli, intéressaient au plus haut point Erwan Guilmin, le directeur de la DOD (la Direction des opérations douanières) qu’il n’hésita pas à faire saisir une cargaison de plus de 7 tonnes de cannabis…appartenant à Hambli, n’imaginant pas le cataclysme qu’il allait provoquer.
A la suite de cette saisie, l’enquête, comme c’est la coutume, fut confiée à l’OCRTIS qui fut dessaisi quelques jours plus tard et pour cause, puisque la cargaison était sous contrôle de François Thierry…et le dossier fut refilé aux gendarmes!
Entre ces cousins policiers et douaniers des régaliennes chargés de la lutte contre les stups, c’est la mésentente depuis des décennies et toutes les vilenies dont se rendirent coupables les policiers contre la DNRED seraient trop longues à détailler ici.
Policiers et douaniers n’étant pas réellement des amis, et ces derniers ayant trop souvent subi les attaques des policiers qui n’hésitaient jamais à chasser le douanier plutôt que les trafiquants… De perturber les opérations que menaient François Thierry ne pouvait que réjouir les ‘superdouaniers’ de la DOD!
Sauf que… pour s’engager dans ce type d’opérations, il faut, comme on dit vulgairement, avoir le cul propre. Pas de bol, Erwan Guilmin n’avait pas le cul propre!

Et tout ce qui arrive, ce renvoi de six hauts gradés de la DNRED en correctionnelle par la juge Aude Buresi, est donc la conséquence logique de la suffisance d’Erwan Guilmin, la conséquence logique des règles élémentaires de sécu qu’il ne s’appliquait pas et la conséquence logique de son ambition dévorante due sans doute au fait qu’en tant qu’énarque, il se sentait au dessus de la loi, entrainant alors avec lui tous les egos surdimensionnés qui l’entouraient.

Silence radio et promotions assurées

Les résultats réclamés par les ‘stratifs’ de Montreuil, l’ex DG Jérôme Fournel et l’ex DG Hélène Crocquevieille, ne peuvent justifier une telle dérive.

L’échelon DNRED du Havre était un coffre-fort

Les gendarmes méthodiquement vont donc effectuer des perquisitions légales et là, lors de l’une d’elles, à l’échelon DOD du Havre, ils trouvent un gros paquet de biffetons…800.000 euro! Pascal Schmidt, explique sérieusement que l’argent appartient à un certain Zoran Petrovic…

Quatre mois plus tard, douze personnes ont été placées en garde à vue, dont Pascal Schmidt, le responsable de la DOD du Havre, et plusieurs supérieurs hiérarchiques. Tristement, quelques semaines après la perquisition, un adjoint de Pascal Schmidt se suicidera sur son lieu de travail.

Pour la justice, ces hauts gradés « ont enfreint la loi dans l’unique but de réaliser des saisies avantageuses pour l’image médiatique de la DNRED mais sans aucun résultat concret sur le plan de la lutte contre la contrebande« , c’est la conviction de la juge Aude Buresi et du parquet et donc dans son ordonnance du 11 mai, la juge Aude Buresi a décidé de faire juger Jean-Paul Garcia pour « détournement de fonds publics par négligence ». La magistrate, conformément au réquisitoire du parquet de Paris, estime qu’il « est resté sourd aux multiples alertes » de ses services, permettant ainsi la collaboration et la rémunération de Zoran Petrovic, l’informateur au cœur de l’affaire, pourtant sur liste noire depuis 2009. Mais il est bon de se poser la question

Jean Paul Garcia et l’ancien patron de la Direction des opérations douanières (DOD) au Havre, Pascal Schmidt, seront les deux principaux prévenus du procès, accusés d’être la cheville ouvrière de ces importations de marchandises contrefaites, et seront aussi jugés pour « corruption » et « blanchiment ».

La juge ordonne également un procès pour Vincent Sauvalère, ex-numéro 2 de la DNRED et pour son successeur Erwan Guilmin. Son adjointe à l’époque des faits, Magalie Noël sera également jugée. Tous trois ainsi qu’un responsable régional seront jugés, notamment, pour « complicité » des importations frauduleuses, « escroquerie en bande organisée » et « détournement de fonds publics ».

La marchandise frauduleuse déclenchant les poursuites et à l’origine de l’affaire judiciaire, n’était qu’un bidonnage à la mode douanière d’une saisie d’une cargaison de café, d’un poids total de 43 tonnes, qui avait été « découverte » le 3 juillet 2015 dans un camion et un hangar, officiellement sur la base d’un renseignement recueilli par les super-douaniers de la DOD de la DNRED.

La honte, ils montaient des opérations bidons pour faire croire qu’ils étaient super rencardés … c’est plus facile!

A Bercy, on s’était même fendu d’un communiqué triomphant : »Une première sur le territoire national »…. Là aussi, quand il s’agit d’exister médiatiquement, tous, ministres en tête, sont de bons clients!

Le 10 décembre 2019, j’abordais cette triste affaire sous le titre:

Vincent Sauvalère était en poste à Bruxelles…à l’OLAF plus précisément, le machin anti-fraude de l’Europe. Vincent Sauvalère venait de la DOD (Direction des Opérations Douanières de la DNRED) et c’est l’énarque Erwan Guilmin qui l’avait remplacé.

Ça commence bien cette histoire, sauf que, sauf que ces grands spécialistes des opérations douanières avaient trouvé la solution pour se faire « mousser »( c’est bon pour le déroulement de carrière), en organisant, avec un comparse recruté pour ses connaissances dans le monde obscur des trafics en tous genres, des opérations bidons, voire des trafics qu’ils couvraient.

Tout a une fin, même quand on s’estime au dessus des lois.

Dans un rapport de synthèse d’octobre 2017 deux juges d’instruction, Aude Buresi et Clément Herbo, qui enquêtaient sur ces brillants satrapes de Bercy, ont écrit :

« Nos investigations font ressortir, pour chaque affaire douanière, une implication incriminante de l’aviseur (Zoran Petrovic), et matérialisent une complicité du commandement de la Direction des opérations douanières (DOD) dans les schémas d’importation de marchandise de fraude», tout en soulignant «la participation active de Zoran Petrovic à de multiples trafics». Très loin, donc, des «dysfonctionnements localisés» avancés au début de l’enquête ouverte au pôle financier de Paris, à la suite d’une saisie particulièrement suspecte en juillet 2015.

Erwan Guilmin

Dans le cadre de cette procédure, un document classé «secret défense» a même été caviardé par l’énarque menteur Erwan Guilmin pour dissimuler à la justice le véritable statut du trafiquant indicateur.


Suspicions

Ancien parachutiste de l’armée serbe reconverti dans l’import-export, Zoran Petrovic a été condamné plusieurs fois pour vols et séjours irréguliers depuis son arrivée en France, en 1992.

«Tamponné» par la Brigade de répression du banditisme à la fin des années 90, il collabore ensuite avec plusieurs services de police et de renseignements, très intéressés par sa connaissance du milieu yougoslave et ses connexions dans les Balkans.

Vincent Sauvalère

En novembre 2008, par l’intermédiaire d’un autre informateur, le Serbe est approché par Vincent Sauvalère, qui vient de prendre la tête de la Direction des opérations douanières (DOD), la principale division opérationnelle de la DNRED. D’abord affecté au groupe «stups», Zoran Petrovic permet d’initier un premier dossier portant sur un chargement de 700 kilos de cocaïne, mais l’affaire périclite rapidement. Peu de temps après, son nom est associé à une autre affaire de drogue, baptisée «Hard Rock Cafe», qui lui vaudra d’être mis en examen pour «trafic de stupéfiants».

Véronique Degerman

Lors d’une réunion au parquet de Paris, la vice-procureure de la République, Véronique Degermann, exprime son «ras-le-bol» mais accepte que la DNRED continue à travailler avec Zoran Petrovic, à condition qu’il oublie les stups.

Toujours cornaqué par Vincent Sauvalère, l’aviseur se rapproche alors du groupe «cigarettes», dont il était jusqu’ici un objectif important en raison de sa proximité avec un des principaux réseaux chinois de contrebande. «Là, Sauvalère nous dit que Zoran est quelqu’un
d’envergure, et que nous avons tout intérêt à en faire un aviseur plutôt qu’une cible», a expliqué l’ancien responsable du service aux magistrats. Une importante affaire de cigarettes est alors réalisée avec le parquet du Havre mais, à nouveau, des doutes apparaissent sur les véritables intentions de l’indic. «Je sentais qu’il y avait des choses bizarres qui se passaient autour de cette source sans pour autant les identifier précisément», confiera Roger Combes, alors chef de la DOD de Paris, tout en précisant avoir eu pour «ordre» de travailler avec le Serbe en dépit de ses suspicions.

Peu de temps après, des menaces de mort proférées par Zoran Petrovic contre l’un de ses agents traitants, vont finalement conduire le service à s’en séparer.

«Je crois vraiment que nous avons tout intérêt à nous débarrasser, une fois pour toutes, d’un partenaire devenu bien trop instable», écrit Roger Combes dans un mail d’octobre 2009.

Officiellement, «Z» est blacklisté dans la base centrale des sources, comme le veut la procédure. Ce qui ne va pas empêcher Vincent Sauvalère de continuer à le faire travailler en s’affranchissant de toutes les règles d’usage. Il faut comprendre..c’est tellement facile de se la péter pour des résultats bidons ! Beau tremplin pour Bruxelles !

Embrouilles administratives

Rattaché successivement aux antennes de Bordeaux et de La Rochelle afin de diversifier les juridictions référentes, Zoran Petrovic est finalement positionné à l’antenne du Havre. Il a désormais deux agents traitants : le nouveau patron de la DOD du Havre, Pascal Schmidt, et l’inévitable Vincent Sauvalère dont l’adjointe, Magalie Noël, est également dans la combine. Le grand patron de la DNRED, Jean-Paul Garcia, aurait eu une «connaissance exhaustive» de tous les dossiers réalisés grâce à Zoran Petrovic, s’est il fait enfler par ces forcenés du résultat!

Jean-Paul Garcia

Pour mieux brouiller les pistes, quatre nouvelles immatriculations sont attribuées à Zoran Petrovic, créées sur la base de vrais faux papiers d’identité dont l’enquête n’a pas encore permis de déterminer l’origine.
Une de ces identités est exclusivement utilisée pour les affaires de contrefaçons, une autre pour les cigarettes et une troisième pour les armes. Pendant au moins six ans, le Serbe va ainsi servir de pivot aux principales affaires douanières. Pour la seule année 2013, sur 181 tonnes de cigarettes saisies par les douanes, plus de 105 tonnes sont passées par le port du Havre. Le reste se répartit principalement entre les antennes de Bordeaux et de La Rochelle, elles aussi rencardées par le célèbre aviseur.

Un business parfaitement rodé. «Mon rôle était toujours le même,raconte le Serbe en garde à vue. Je devais assurer l’entrée de la marchandise sur le territoire et l’emmener jusque dans l’entrepôt situé au Havre. Tout cela a été fait sous le contrôle des douaniers, du début à la fin.» A chaque fois, le modus operandi est identique : un nom de société existante est pris au hasard et désigné comme destinataire de la marchandise. Une fois la marchandise arrivée au port du Havre, les cargaisons transitent ensuite par des entrepôts contrôlés par la DNRED. L’antenne du Havre avait «la maîtrise totale de la logistique», insiste Zoran Petrovic. Selon nos informations, des équipes de douaniers étaient régulièrement réquisitionnées pour escorter les cargaisons du Serbe jusqu’à leur destination finale.

« Au cours de ces opérations clandestines, les agents avaient ordre de leur hiérarchie de couper leurs portables et d’utiliser des téléphones d’emprunt, comme de vulgaires dealers. »

«En toute amitié»

Pour chaque conteneur saisi, Zoran Petrovic était rémunéré au moins 20 000 euros par l’administration douanière.

Mais les véritables bénéfices étaient réalisés sur la marchandise qu’il importait par ailleurs en toute tranquillité. Des dizaines de tonnes de cigarettes de contrebande ont ainsi inondé le marché sans être saisies, en dépit de nombreuses alertes, avec la » bénédiction » des magouilleurs de la DOD.

En février 2015, les autorités américaines avertissent leurs homologues français de l’arrivée de plusieurs conteneurs de cigarettes.
Trois mois plus tard, c’est l’attaché douanier à Dubaï qui signale la présence d’un conteneur. Aucun n’est contrôlé.

Mais régulièrement, en vertu du deal avec la DNRED, ces livraisons donnent lieu à une saisie spectaculaire.

Comme ce 20 juillet 2015, dans l’Aisne, lorsque les douaniers de Laon interceptent plus de 9 tonnes de cigarettes de marque Che et Richman dans un poids lourd immatriculé en Croatie. Le communiqué triomphal est encore visible sur le site des douanes. «Cette nouvelle saisie est le résultat d’une stratégie globale de protection de l’espace national», s’y félicitent les gabelous.

Le grain de sable

Mais le système va finir par dérailler. Le 3 juillet 2015, la DNRED réalise une saisie record : 43,3 tonnes de café contrefait découvert dans un semi-remorque et un entrepôt à Argenteuil (Val-d’Oise). En une seule prise, les douaniers sont passés de 30 % à 45 % de leurs objectifs annuels. Mais là encore, l’affaire a été montée de toutes pièces par «Z» qui, en contrepartie, a bénéficié de l’absence de contrôle par les douaniers du Havre de six conteneurs de cigarettes de contrebande, soit environ 70 tonnes. «Le café n’était qu’un leurre permettant à la DNRED d’afficher une belle saisie en volume de marchandise contrefaite alors qu’elle n’était que la contrepartie d’une absence de contrôle des importations réalisées et organisées par Zoran Petrovic » soulignent les magistrats.

Le » Boomerang «

En décembre 2016, (à la suite de la saisie de cannabis Bd Exelmans (affaire Francois Thierry et Sofiane Hambli), l’OCRTIS est dessaisi du dossier au profit de la Gendarmerie et…) lors d’une perquisition à l’échelon DNRED du Havre, les gendarmes découvrent près de 800 000 euros en espèces dans le bureau de Pascal Schmidt, un des agents traitants de Petrovic.

Le parfum de corruption est d’autant plus tenace que les enquêteurs mettent aussi la main sur une montre Chopard au domicile du douanier. En garde à vue, «Z» fini par reconnaître que la tocante venait bien de lui. «Le fait d’offrir une montre à Pascal Schmidt, ce n’est pas de la corruption pour moi, s’est-il justifié. C’est un cadeau en toute amitié.»

Jusqu’où la haute hiérarchie douanière a-t-elle couvert les trafics de sa poule aux œufs d’or ?

Interrogés plusieurs fois, les principaux responsables se sont renvoyés la balle, mettant en avant les objectifs chiffrés et la pression du résultat. «Nous étions d’accord pour dire que ces objectifs quantitatifs étaient déconnectés de la réalité du trafic de cigarettes sur le territoire national, et que de fait ils nous obligeaient à orienter nos sources sur le trafic de cigarettes», a expliqué Magalie Noël, évoquant les «pressions de la Direction générale». «Les objectifs contrefaçons et cigarettes étaient en augmentation constante et ne pouvaient pas être atteints sans une saisie de conteneurs», a abondé Vincent Sauvalère. Soupçonnés d’avoir couvert les activités de «Z» pendant des années, ils ont été mis en examen, entre autres, pour «escroquerie en bande organisée», «détournement de fonds publics», «faux et usage de faux» et «importation en bande organisée de marchandises contrefaites».


«Manipulation»

Autre cadre épinglé : Erwan Guilmin, le successeur de Vincent Sauvalère à la tête de la DOD, qui a juré ses grands dieux ne jamais avoir été informé de la présence de Zoran Petrovic sur liste noire. «On m’a sans doute berné», a expliqué Guilmin aux juges, allant jusqu’à évoquer une «manipulation».
Une version mise à mal depuis par un autre témoignage accablant. Il émane d’un cadre du secrétariat général de la DNRED, chargé de gérer la base centrale des sources et de tenir à jour les enregistrements, les radiations et la fameuse liste noire. Début 2016, le cadre reçoit une réquisition judiciaire du juge Jean Gervillié, qui enquête sur une affaire de stups impliquant Zoran Petrovic «Jean-Paul Garcia [alors patron de la DNRED] m’a demandé sur un Post-it de vérifier une liste de noms, a raconté le témoin. J’ai fait opérer immédiatement par mes services cette vérification et fait rédiger une note classifiée manuelle par un de mes agents. Cette note mentionnait expressément que Zoran Petrovic était sur liste noire.»

La note doit alors être envoyée au service juridique, chargé de la transmettre au juge d’instruction. «Je devais faire porter cette note par un chauffeur sous pli fermé, poursuit le cadre. Mais M. Erwan Guilmin m’a indiqué qu’il se chargeait de l’amener directement. Je n’ai pas pu refuser car il m’en a donné l’ordre.»
Le cadre s’exécute. Mais à la suite d’une demande de déclassification, un an et demi plus tard, l’inspection générale des douanes se rend compte que le document transmis à la justice, pourtant classé « secret défense », ne correspond pas à l’original. L’écriture est différente.

Surtout, le nom de Zoran Petrovic n’apparaît plus sur liste noire. Un tour de passe-passe assimilable à une dissimulation de preuves, délit passible de cinq ans de prison. Contactés par Libération, les avocats des personnes mises en cause, toutes présumées innocentes, n’ont pas souhaité réagir.

Depuis, Erwan Guilmin est devenu « Chargé de mission à la sous-direction des politiques sociales – Secrétariat général » auMinistère de l’économie et des finances en janvier 2018.

Introuvable et ne figurant sur aucun listing téléphonique à Bercy, et…

Et à la DG de la Douane française, contactée par Marc Fievet, on ne sait que bredouiller…Alzheimer a frappé grave!

Encore heureux que dans ces affaires le « SECRET DEFENSE » n’a pas été décrété !

BOLIVIE 🇧🇴 : Maximiliano Dávila-Perez, un ancien chef bolivien de la lutte contre les stupéfiants, a été accusé aux États-Unis d’avoir conspiré pour fournir une protection de haut niveau aux expéditions de cocaïne vers les États-Unis

Les autorités boliviennes ont arrêté Dávila-Perez le mois dernier, soupçonné de blanchiment d’argent alors qu’il tentait prétendument de fuir vers l’Argentine.

« Au lieu d’éradiquer le trafic de drogue dans ce pays, Dávila-Perez a travaillé en partenariat avec des laboratoires de drogue boliviens et a cherché à envoyer plus de mille kilogrammes de cocaïne aux États-Unis », a déclaré le procureur américain Damian Williams dans un communiqué. déclaration.

SIX ACCUSÉS DE CONTREBANDE D’ARMES ET DE MUNITIONS AU VIOLENT CARTEL MEXICAIN DE LA DROGUE

Dávila-Perez a été chef de la lutte contre les stupéfiants au cours des derniers mois de la présidence de Morales, qui s’est terminée brusquement en novembre 2019 lorsque l’ancien cultivateur de coca a démissionné au milieu des manifestations de rue après l’annonce qu’il avait remporté l’élection pour un quatrième mandat sans précédent.

Morales a expulsé la Drug Enforcement Administration américaine de Bolivie en 2008, l’accusant de comploter pour renverser son gouvernement à un moment où la hausse des prix des matières premières et une vague de politique de gauche dans toute l’Amérique du Sud remettaient en cause l’influence américaine de longue date dans la région.

L’enquête sur la drogue qui a conduit aux accusations portées contre Dávila-Perez a été ouverte par la Division des opérations spéciales de la DEA en 2017, selon les archives judiciaires d’une affaire connexe.

Dans le cadre de l’enquête, des informateurs criminels travaillant sous la direction de la DEA ont enregistré des conversations dans lesquelles un coaccusé de Dávila-Perez s’est vanté d’avoir accès à un avion cargo militaire MD-11 pour transporter 60 tonnes de cocaïne aux États-Unis.

FRANCE 🇫🇷 (DNRED – CELTICS) : quand la DEA donnait l’info sur le ‘TRUDY’ qui n’en finit pas de dévoiler ses secrets

Publié le par
Répondre

Ce cargo battant pavillon du Liberia avait été intercepté par les douanes françaises entre Calais et Dunkerque le 1er octobre dernier avec plus d’une tonne de cocaïne à bord. Autorisé à repartir avec un nouvel équipage, il avait été arraisonné le 26 octobre à Rotterdam par les douanes néerlandaises, qui avaient trouvé à son bord, bien cachés, 529 kilos supplémentaires de cocaïne.

Selon Le Parisien, les marins du « Trudy » sont auditionnés ce mois-ci pour définir les responsabilités de chacun. L’ADN de deux marins philippins a ainsi permis de prouver qu’ils avaient participé à la manipulation des ballots de cocaïne. Dans la cabine de l’un d’eux, a été retrouvé un téléphone, dont l’exploitation a permis la mise en évidence d’une conversation avec un certain « boss », probablement basé au Brésil et impliqué dans ce trafic de grande ampleur.

Selon le Parisien, dans une synthèse rédigée le 30 décembre dernier, les policiers s’étonnent d’un choix de navigation du vraquier : contrairement à son habitude, le « Trudy » a traversé les îles du Cap-Vert au lieu de les contourner. Il croisait alors à proximité de « La Rosa ». Ce yacht a été arraisonné mi-octobre par la marine sénégalaise… avec deux tonnes de coke à bord. Les pains de drogue saisis dans « La Rosa » « portaient des logos identiques à certains de ceux découverts sur le Trudy ». Il faut donc s’attendre à d’autres rebondissements dans cette affaire aux ramifications toujours plus nombreuses.

M/Y « La ROSA »

Production is increasing in many places, fuelled by instability and economic crises in major drug-producing countries. Traffickers appear to be sending vast shipments, reflected in record-breaking drug seizures.

“There’s a boom in demand, there’s a boom in supply,” said Andrew Cunningham, head of drug markets, crime and supply reduction at the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), “It does look quite apparent.” 

Nowhere is this boom more pronounced than in the Golden Triangle, where Laos, Thailand and Myanmar intersect. In October, police grabbed 55 million methamphetamine tablets in Laos, Asia’s largest ever drug bust. Regional drug production and trafficking have intensified following the February coup in Myanmar, which plunged the country into chaos.

The October meth haul was only the tip of the iceberg. Many other large shipments have been reported in recent months. Seizures of methamphetamine have been expanding steadily in the past decade to reach a record high in 2020, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). 

“There is an expansion of the synthetic drug market,” said Martin Raithelhuber, of UNODC. Meth was becoming “cheaper” while purity remained high, he said. “It really points to a larger amount of the drug being available on the market”. 

This boom has been facilitated by innovative chemistry. Drug producers have managed to create their own precursor chemicals for synthetic drugs, bypassing international controls. Last year Laotian authorities seized more than 70 tons of propionyl chloride, which can be used to make fentanyl and meth precursors. 

Record hauls

Mexican cartels have reportedly used similar experimentation, and drugs are flooding into the US. In November, almost 9 tons of meth and over 175 kg of fentanyl were seized at the border, the largest amount for either drug in two years. Indeed, the DEA seized a record amount of fentanyl in 2021. Overdose deaths reached new highs from 2020 to 2021.

Mexican cartels have also penetrated the European market. Spanish police recently announced the largest ever methamphetamine bust on record, with over 2.5 tons seized in separate, coordinated raids in various cities. A Mexican cartel was allegedly piping meth into Europe through the port of Barcelona.

These seizures point to large-scale drug production, but they are also indicative of intensified law-enforcement activity, according to Andrew Cunningham. The Spanish meth haul was the result of a lengthy international investigation. Encrypted communication platforms used by traffickers have recently been cracked, leading to big seizures.

The narcotics trade has also been helped along by political instability in major drug-producing countries, such as Myanmar and Afghanistan. The production and trafficking of narcotics tend to flourish in chaotic, conflict-ridden states with rule of law deficits. 

“The places where the drug production is booming are places where the state has very little control or they’re facilitating or turning a blind eye to things that are going on in the country,” Cunningham told TRT World.

In war-ravaged Syria manufacture of the amphetamine known as Captagon has skyrocketed with the help of the government. The Assad regime, throttled by sanctions and mired in economic crisis, is relying on drugs to earn hard currency. Associates of the ruling family are allegedly involved in production and trafficking of Captagon, turning Syria into a narcostate.

Captagon seizures have reached eyewatering levels. 2021 saw the largest quantity of tablets seized on record, with 95 million pills intercepted in Malaysia in a single haul in March. In Jordan, almost twice as many Captagon tablets were grabbed in 2021 compared with the previous year. And Saudi Arabia has been severely affected, too.

Captagon has also reached Iraq, where use of synthetic drugs, including methamphetamine, has increased enormously in the past decade. The amount of Captagon and meth seized in 2021 was twenty times larger than in the previous two years combined, according to the Iraqi government. 

“The Captagon trade has experienced a notable increase in both supply and number of transit and destination markets,” said Caroline Rose, Senior Analyst and Head of the Power Vacuums program in the Human Security unit at the Newlines Institute and author of an upcoming report on Captagon. “It’s very likely that this trade will continue to expand”.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan has emerged as a major meth producer. The drug can be made cheaply using a local plant, ephedra. Afghan meth now flows in copious quantities to Iran and also to Africa via Pakistan and the Indian Ocean. International maritime forces seized more drugs in the region in 2021 than in the previous four years combined – a new record.

The narcotics boom is more pronounced than anywhere else in the Golden Triangle, where Laos, Thailand and Myanmar intersect. Regional drug production and trafficking intensified following the February coup in Myanmar, which plunged the country into chaos.

According to recent research, the production of ephedra appears to be increasing in Afghanistan as the country collapses into economic crisis. Satellite imagery reveals “new shops, an extended storage area for dried & milled ephedra, and more inventory than ever before”, writes David Mansfield. The price of both meth and ephedra has fallen. 

Afghanistan is also a major producer of opiates, accounting for 85 percent of the global heroin supply. Opium production increased by 8 percent in 2021, the United Nations recently assessed, and may continue to rise as farmers have reported higher levels of cultivation this planting season.

Elsewhere, the cocaine trade is booming. Production increased in Colombia in 2020, and there have been a number of massive seizures at European ports, including over 16 tons at Hamburg in February, almost 11 tons at Antwerp in April and 4 tons at Rotterdam in October. Turkey also saw the largest cocaine haul in its history this year.

What supply chain crisis?

The use of container ships to smuggle cocaine concealed in perishable goods, such as fruit, predated the pandemic, but appears to have increased. Air travel was severely hit by coronavirus restrictions, limiting the ability to send drugs on commercial flights.

Maritime shipping enables smugglers to transport huge quantities of product with relatively limited risk of detection, given the size of the vessels and the time-sensitive nature of food imports, which must be checked promptly by customs officials.

The massive seizures this year also indicate that the cocaine trade has not been significantly disrupted by the covid-related supply-chain crisis. A boom in demand combined with covid problems in Asia have caused shortages of goods and shipping delays as vessels lie moored outside ports, waiting for a berth. 

While South America has been affected by the crisis, import volumes from the east coast to Europe have not declined during the pandemic, according to Simon Heaney, a senior manager at maritime consultancy, Drewry. “I haven’t seen any evidence that volumes on this trade have been supressed by the supply chain issues,” Heaney told TRT World.

Food, in which cocaine is often hidden, is less vulnerable to disruption than electrical appliances. “The supply chain is much more complex with electrical goods – more intermediate components / parts that need to be shipped from various locations, increasing the risk of delays / raising costs,” Heaney said.

The pandemic forced traffickers to adapt their methods, selling drugs online and adopting novel delivery systems that reduce human contact, such as drones.

While the cost of sending freight has generally become more expensive amid the supply-chain crisis, including from South America, traffickers generally conceal their product in licit shipments, meaning they “do not pay for the cost of the shipping container”, according to Andrew Cunningham. 

The trafficking of heroin along the Balkan Route through Iran and Turkey to Europe is mostly conducted in vehicles and has not been seriously affected by the shipping crisis, and the same goes for the meth trade in Southeast Asia, much of which happens overland between Lower Mekong countries.

The demand for narcotics might also have increased, Cunningham said. The use of drugs normally consumed in recreational settings, such as MDMA and cocaine, appeared to fall during the initial lockdowns in 2020, but has since bounced back, according to the EMCDDA’s 2021 drug report. 

The pandemic forced traffickers to adapt their methods, selling drugs online and adopting novel delivery systems that reduce human contact, such as drones. While some of these adaptations might be temporary, others could transform the drug trade and further empower traffickers going forward.

The social and economic damage caused by Covid-19 could also drive more people into drugs. “Research findings associate inequality, poverty and lack of opportunities for socioeconomic development with increased drug use disorders and increased engagement in drug production and trafficking,” says the 2021 UN World Drug Report.

Narco-traffickers defied Covid-19 and now look set to reach new heights, as the stars are aligning for a further expansion of their trade.

FRANCE 🇫🇷 (DG de la douane – DNRED) : lettre ouverte au valet de plume Michel Baron

Michel Baron

Mon cher Michel

Mon cher administrateur des douanes

Mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses

Mon cher menteur

Mon cher tartuffe

Relisant tes écrits, j’ai pu constater que tu étais particulièrement performant dans l’art de la rhétorique mensongère.

Le 10 avril 2020, je t’avais écrit une lettre ouverte, mais tes nombreuses occupations ne t’ont pas permis de trouver le temps d’y répondre.

Je te la fais à nouveau parvenir, espérant que cette fois-ci, tu n’auras pas l’attitude d’un de tes prédécesseurs Gérard Schoen qui avait préféré s’enfuir en courant lorsque j’avais cherché à le rencontrer.

J’ai mis quelques photos pour te permettre de reconnaitre tes semblables !

°°°°°°

Ô, mon cher Michel, mon cher administrateur des douanes, mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses, mon cher menteur, mon cher tartuffe, constater une fois encore tes savantes manœuvres pour dégager la responsabilité de l’administration des douanes ne m’ont permis que de faire un constat, accablant pour toi, comme pour tes prédécesseurs Elizabeth Melscoet, Thomas Charvet et le gredin Erwan Guilmin : vous êtes des menteurs institutionnels !

Erwan Guilmin

Mon cher Michel, mon cher administrateur des douanes, mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses, mon cher menteur, mon cher tartuffe, sais tu que je ne peux accepter cette infamie savamment distillée par tes écris mensongers. Il m’est insupportable de constater qu’après avoir été encensé puis encouragé à infiltrer et infiltrer encore, tu ne souhaitais que flétrir tant de lauriers amassés. Mes actions qu’avec respect toute la hiérarchie de la DNRED admirait, mes informations précises qui tant de fois ont permis des saisies importantes, tant de fois valorisaient un service… aux actions que tu ne connais même pas ! Tu m’as trahi comme tu as trahi l’honneur de la douane tout entière en deformant sciemment l’action que j’ai menée suite aux volontés ministérielles de Michel Charasse.

Gérard Schoen

Mon cher Michel, mon cher administrateur des douanes, mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses, mon cher menteur, mon cher tartuffe, toi qui occupe un haut rang d’administrateur, comment peux tu l’occuper sans honneur? Tu as préféré emprunter les affabulations de tes prédécesseurs pour m’écarter de toutes réparations. Seras-tu un sprinter comme ce faquin de Gérard Schoen si tu me rencontrais ou préférerais-tu jouer les timides méprisants et dédaigneux, comme le fit Corinne Cleostrate, et t’éloigner sans me regarder ?

Corine Cleostrate

Mon cher Michel, mon cher administrateur des douanes, mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses, mon cher menteur, mon cher tartuffe, relire encore que toutes les turpitudes subies ne seraient la résultante que d’une erreur d’appréciation de ma part sur l’engagement de la douane sur lequel j’étais persuadé pouvoir compter, me trouble. En homme d’honneur que je suis, habitué à la parole donnée, il m’était difficile d’imaginer que tant de bassesses pouvait t’habiter.

Thomas Charvet

Mon cher Michel, mon cher administrateur des douanes, mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses, mon cher menteur, mon cher tartuffe, je te croyais honnête et factuel, n’hésitant pas à t’informer avant de m’emballer dans des écrits totalement infondés. Non, tu n’as rien demandé, te permettant alors de tordre le cou à la vérité des faits.

Mon cher Michel, mon cher administrateur des douanes, mon cher responsable des affaires juridiques et contentieuses, mon cher menteur, mon cher tartuffe, merci de transmettre mes meilleures civilités à ton entourage…douanier. »

FRANCE 🇫🇷 (Narcotrafic) : le mauvais diagnostic posé par la place Beauvau sur le Tsunami de coke qui déferle sur l’Europe 🇪🇺… par Xavier Raufer

14 décembre 2021

Par Xavier Raufer
Trafic de drogue – Ce mauvais diagnostic posé par la France sur le « tsunami » de cocaïne qui déferle sur l’Europe

La France et l’Union européenne doivent faire face à un vaste trafic transcontinental de
cocaïne livrée par tonnes et qui rapporte des milliards aux trafiquants et aux réseaux.

Expertise collective, complexe appareil de renseignement : un grand État peut-il se tromper de guerre ? Ô combien. Exemple énorme, la « guerre à la drogue » lancée en juin 1971 par Richard Nixon, qui crée en 1973 la DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), outil fédéral spécifique.

Or cette « guerre » ne cible que le plus visible : le cannabis (des hippies ) et l’héroïne (drogue des Noirs et des vétérans-toxicomanes rentrés du Vietnam). La cocaïne ? La Maison blanche et de DEA la négligent, quoique Pablo Escobar & co. lancent alors sur l’Amérique du Nord un tsunami de « chlorhydrate de cocaïne » (nom savant de la drogue) puis de crack (protococaïne à fumer).

Washington corrige la colossale bévue en 1984 : à Miami, un jury fédéral inculpe Pablo Escobar et les chefs d’un cartel de Medellin actif mais impuni depuis dix ans.


Trop tard

Les États-Unis absorbent alors 400 tonnes de « coke » par an, les guerres de gangs (pour contrôler le gâteau) font 15 morts par jour (surtout, Noirs) et les cartels ont créé dans toute l’Amérique du Nord un maillage de distribution des drogues, toujours actif en 2021.


50 ans plus tard, l’Union européenne et la France font-t-elles la même bourde ?

C’est hélas possible car le gouvernement français cible par électoralisme ces petits dealers de cités dont le négoce reste le cannabis.

L’ « omniprésent » (ajouté par Marc Fievet) Gérald Darmanin et ses troupes multiplient ces futiles opérations coup de poing où l’on saisit quelques kilos d’un haschisch fumé, en France, à raison d’une tonne par jour ; et capturent des sous-fifres libérés à l’instant par la justice d’Eric Dupond-Moretti. Ce, quand sévit un colosse criminel, toujours plus riche et puissant.

Démonstration.


D’abord, les données du problème cocaïne pour la France et l’Europe.

Les chiffres ci-après étant tout sauf hyperboliques, plutôt au bas de la fourchette :
• Comparée aux autres stupéfiants, la cocaïne est une machine à fric inégalée. Livrée en gros en France, pure à ± 80%, les grossistes la payent en moyenne ± 32 000 €/kilo (32 millions d’€ la tonne). Puis la cocaïne est coupée (la tonne pure devient 1,5 t.) ; le prix, niveau demi-grossiste, passe à ± 45 000 €/kilo. Enfin, la vente de rue se fait vers 70€ le gramme, 40€ le 1/2 g.
Bien sûr, cette « accumulation primitive du capital  » enrichit surtout le haut de la pyramide criminelle, caïds et cadres des gangs.

Exemple : ce caïd achète, pour sa clientèle régionale, 500kg de cocaïne en gros puis la revend à des patrons de « fours » (points de deal ) au prix du kilo coupé. Pour cette seule transaction, il gagne ± 6,5 millions d’euros. Moins ses frais : entretien du gang, logistique, avocats, corruptions diverses, train de vie… Bénéfice net de la seule opération (sans encombres policiers ou douaniers) : 6 millions d’€.


• Combien de cocaïne ainsi livrée en France, à bon port ?

Les experts d’Anvers et Rotterdam, ports d’où la « coke » inonde l’Europe, disent en saisir 10%. La douane française étant performante, accordons-leur le (généreux) taux de saisie de 25%, 1/4 saisi, 3/4 livrés aux narcos. (C’est vraiment très généreux, bien que ce % pourrait être atteint si la CELTICS de la DNRED voyait ses effectifs renforcés et qu’un équipement performant était enfin installé – Marc Fievet).
Donc : 13 tonnes saisies par nos douanes en 2020, ± 40 t. livrées aux semi-grossistes. Là, le profit annuel du haut de la pyramide (de gros à demi-gros) est à ce seul niveau de ± 520 millions d’€. Voyons maintenant les profits cascadant du haut en bas du circuit de vente, du kilo en gros (± 32 000 euros) au 1/2 gramme en boîte de nuit (40 €) : ce profit total du négoce de la cocaïne en France (métropole) approche le milliard et demi d’€. Profit total annuel , soulignons-le, renouvelé chaque douze mois.
• Niveau Union européenne (et ses ± 4 millions de cocaïnomanes) le problème est pire.
D’abord, malgré tout l’activisme de Washington et les serments de régimes locaux corrompus ou/et impuissants, le cône nord de l’Amérique latine produit toujours plus de cocaïne ; le marché N°1 mondial des cartels, de la Colombie au Mexique, étant désormais l’Europe.
• Exemple, le port d’Anvers (Belgique) : 120 km 2 (Paris intra-muros : 105 km 2 ), 64
000 salariés directs (alentours, 80 000 autres vivent du port), 7,5 millions de conteneurs traités en 2020. 66 t. de cocaïne saisies en 2020 (sans doute 100 t. à Anvers, fin 2021). Rappel : en 2010, ± 50 t. de cocaïne étaient saisies pour toute l’Union européenne .

CORRUPTION

Combien de dockers, grutiers, douaniers, employés et fonctionnaires de la fourmilière d’Anvers, prêts à gagner 10 000€ à détourner les yeux ou prêter un badge d’accès ? 100 000€ pour une grosse « extraction » de drogue ? Pire à Rotterdam, inquiétant pour des ports français, Le Havre en tête. Ce, quand une chaîne logistique mondiale toujours plus automatisée et accélérée complique le travail des douanes ; la police étant toujours plus confrontée aux guerres de gangs visant au contrôle d’une telle mine d’or : fusillades, attentats à la bombe, jets de grenades, règlements de comptes, enlèvements, tortures, etc.
Là est le pire danger, pour l’Europe et la France : des caïds riches à milliards (les principaux
opèrent depuis le Maghreb, le Golfe, l’Andalousie, etc.), pouvant corrompre des élus et des fonctionnaires ; stipendier des pirates informatiques pour manipuler les structures portuaires ; infiltrer l’économie légale, l’immobilier etc., pour y recycler et blanchir leurs profits – et acquérir plus de puissance encore.


Tel est le défi lancé à la France et l’Union européenne, par le macro -trafic transcontinental d’une cocaïne livrée par tonnes et rapportant des milliards.

Un second article exposera le problème des micro -trafics en France même :  » crack  » au nord-est de Paris, guerres de la « coke » dans des ports français.
